El Tigre

No sign of snow here! In fact, we have sunshine!!

Salad256Blog

I biked over the gym and took Body Pump. Again, Chris almost killed me on the bicep track! And on chest (I was attempting 1 large and 1 medium per side) I had to stop midway through and drop weight. SO HARD! I am still still in awe that I actually like Body Pump! Don’t mess with a good thing while it’s going.

From the gym, I flew down the hill on my bike to the bakery to meet our contractor and discuss lighting. So many decisions. It also looks like lots of rain and a new roof the landlord is putting on might delay us a week 🙁 Waaaa.

By the time I got home (a 3 mile bike ride with lots of killer hills) I was famished!

IMG_5396Blog

I made an amazing KERF salad – the usual ingredients – plus a nice egg on top!

IMG_5391BlogIMG_5401Blog

And AB&J on Cranberry Orange on the side!

PB&JBlog

So delicious.

IMG_5397Blog

Our kitty friend’s name has evolved from Tiger to ‘The Tig’ to now, ‘El Tigre’ thanks to this funny chalkboard sign that I drew

And here’s a little playtime for you 😉

My day keeps getting interrupted with calls – to coffee vendors, GH, etc. In fact, I have another call in 2 minutes!!!

    I love the kitty pics and the AB&J on Cranberry Orange. YUM!

    Quick question for you…when I am using lightroom to make a photo collage like you referenced in your Home Neat Home post “On the PRINT tab, you can use templates to put photos together and then print as a JPG”…Once I make the collage and drop in the pics I want to use, I cannot for the life of me get it to “Save” or find a way to right click and export it. It’s like it’s just “stuck” there in the print tab and other than printing it, I can’t figure out how to save/export/or somehow move it.

    I know you said “this new JPG goes to my IMPORT folder and then automatically appears in my photo box below so I can keep on working” — I can’t quite get there.

    Sorry to bug you…I know you’re busy, Kath!

    And probably beat from the great body pump class 🙂

      The first line of the ‘Print Job’ section says “Print to:” and you see printer and a drop down menu to the right – JPG is the next selection.

      And you’ve now used your one free customer support ticket 😉

        I heart you. Thank you!!

        I just tried it, worked like a charm. Would have NEVER seen that little tiny itty bitty drop down menu with the option for save as jpeg or figured that out in a million years.

        Thanks for letting me cash in on my customer support ticket 🙂

    My kitties, who are not allowed further out of doors than our porch, are writhing in jealousy that The Tig is allowed outside in the sunshine. Or would be if they weren’t busy fighting over a used dryer sheet.

    I had an over easy egg on a spinach salad today for lunch that my husband made for me and it was so good…mostly because he cooked it for me and the runny egg was the perfect dressing. Love the pics of the kittie! I hope you survive all the calls…I hate talking on the phone!
